Answer: he had 50 marbles at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of marbles that he had at first.

He gave 2/5 of his marble to his neighbour. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his neighbour is 2/5 × x = 2x/5

The number of marbles that he has remaining is

x - 2x/5 = 3x/5

He gave 1/6 of the remainder to his friend Ali. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his friend is

1/6 × 3x/5 = x/10

The number of marbles that he has left is

3x/5 - x/10 = 5x/10

He had 25 marbles left. It means that

5x/10 = 25

5x = 25 × 10 = 250

x = 250/5 = 50

What is the area of the parallelogram (a) 168s sq inches b) 140 sq inches c) 130 sq inches d) 120 sq inches
irina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a parallelogram is given as the multiplication of its length by that of its height or breadth, however you call it.

In this question, you didn't state the length nor the breadth or height. You just listed the answers. It's very hard knowing the answer without having its dimensions. However, I can tell you that on the diagram or drawing you have there with you, multiply the two distance given to you together, it ought to give you one of the four options you listed above. Be it 168, 140, 130 or even 120 square inches.
